Elves  Live In The Land     
      Beyond The  Great Dam.      
  It  Was  Built In  The Late Sixties.  
    The Elves Came  To Us Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust Them.           Us 
 Kids Would  Play Down  At The Water Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes The  Sluice  Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot  Would Dry Up, Revealing  The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had   Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
       Before The  Dam Opened  Again, 
 There Would  Be A  Signal, But The Elves 
 Would Make Us  Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We  Would Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At  Our  Knees.              
                      
  By  Then  The Elves Would Be  Gone.
